holiday accrual

[lilmadam]

Hi - I need some help re maternity holiday accrual please! I was on AML from jan to may this year (5 months) then back full time from jun till end sep, then I go to a 3 day week. I wanted to know how it is calculated during each period.
Help!

Hi, assuming you were full time before you started your maternity then you will get full time holiday accrual from Jan to Sept, so 9 months. Then you'll get 3/5's for the remaining 3 months.

I.e. if you have 20 days per year you'd accrue 20 / 12 = 1.667 days per month x 9 months = 15 days to Sept then from Oct to Dec you'd get 3 days (20 x 3/5 /12m x 3m)

Hope you get that!

Hi I think it is because they cannot be bothered working it out they are saying I get 24 days (WTR) and I have to take the 8 bank hols out leaving me with 16 days. ( i get 25 days normally plus bank hol) seems really low to me. I thought the WTR 24 days pro rata was just while you were on AML and then it reverted back to contractual accrual?
